Over the years i ended up with all wrestling games on the GB. Back then i bought superstars used around 1992. And then got the 2nd one. Back THEN....it was very exciting to have a portable wrestling game. Back THEN the GB itself was a complete marvel. The games are not BAD. Considering the GB limitations I think they were very awesome for the time and i still play both from time to time but i admit i play more often on better screens with modern emulator handhelds. The games were better than the GB screen. I spent many hours in the 90s with these games. It is surprising to me how much you can do with just TWO buttons and a directional pad. Really for the time this was amazing stuff. Too many people judge old games by today. Well they just dont understand what it was like in 1993 sitting outside under a tree on campus actually playing a wrestling game during a break. The first game was much better....i spend a lot of time rolling on the mat in the 2nd one. King of the Ring wasnt TOO bad. I almost always chose sports games over other games....and still do for portable gaming with the exception of Pokemon. I didnt have a whole lot of money in the early to mid 90s...if i got a game used or new i sort of had to make the best of it and some people today dont get that concept since SO many games are available. That just was not the case back then. Great review
Oh shit man, I watch your videos. I collect mettel elites myself, did you pick up the kane and undertaker ultimate editions? Thanks for the kind words man, really appreciate it.
@@the16bitprick36 Not yet but it's on my Christmas wish list to get those, both look incredibly sick. Just followed your Insta too for the swift reply ☺️ Saw you got em. Hooked on your vids bro, keep it up mate.
@@JustSimplyAJ yeah they are class, arrived super early too, I'm sure originally they were suppose to start shipping nov/Dec. Cheers mate, I reply to everyone, least I can do if they take the time to watch the videos. Got a Halloween gaming related video coming in the next couple of days. I've covered a few wrestling games on the channel, hope you enjoy them if you manage to watch them.
WWF Superstars is a total gem. Even though it was made by LJN (Laughing Joking Numbnuts). I call it one of the best LJN games. I have that game, and King Of The Ring. I never played the other 3.
@@the16bitprick36 I totally had WM2000 on the GBC and enjoyed it. I forgot how balanced it was compared to everything before! Obviously love the N64 titles, they've all aged very well IMHO!
The wrestlers and the crowd in the last three games looked like zombies and skeletons. Pure NIGHTMARE fuel! Not only the very first game looked superior by far, it was also ahead of it's time.
WWF king of the ring was the only one i didnt have since it wasnt out in the UK. play both th gameboy and NES versions on emulation and not impressed. WWF superstars on Gameboy will always be fondly remembered since i played it alot when i was much younger.
Once you get the hang of WWF war zone for game boy it's not bad. I will say the button combo for finishers is hard to do. I wish somebody would hack the game so you just press select for the finishers in WWF war zone for Gameboy. They should have gave Owen Hart the sharpshooter, but Nooooo! They give him the spinning wheel kick for God sakes!.
@@the16bitprick36 that puzzled me too. At least for WWF attitude for game boy color, all you had to do was wait for the white dot, grapple and then hold A and press select, I think, and that was easier to do
8:08 "had to do a runner out there" Lmao I can only assume a runner means to take a shit? As an American I am fascinated by the slang terms you guys have over there.
Nah man caught doing the dirty means shagging someone's misses, doing a runner means exactly that, if you get caught doing something you shouldn't then you bolt, skedaddle, run, you do a runner. To take a shit? We'd be here all day with the ones I know 😂
It's a shame WWF Superstars looks better than anything on the NES. I mean compare SuperStars on the GB vs King of the Ring on the NES, I mean it seems like KOTR could've been better.
@@NIXIEPIXIE class man, I appreciate it. Got plenty other wwf related videos in a playlists if you have the time to spare, new video should be out in the next few week. Wwe smackdown shut your mouth
WWF superstars is the best. Just a shame it didn't have more features/wrestlers. I actually have it complete in box though.
Superstars was great! I remember picking it up for a fiver, best fiver i spent at the time.
@@SuperDuperGamimg can't argue with that for a fiver man

Great video. Though just a slight correction as WWF Raw was developed by Realtime Associates, not Sculptured Software.
Great doc brother!
Glad to hear you enjoyed man! Dropping a new wrestling one tonight at 8PM UK time!
The wrestlers and the crowd in the last three games looked like zombies and skeletons. Pure NIGHTMARE fuel! Not only the very first game looked superior by far, it was also ahead of it's time.
If i remember correctly it was my favourite out of the bunch, some shockers though in there haha!
The crowd in War Zone are dead ringers for the aliens in the movie They Live
The commentary team for wwf superstars 2 looks like .. king diamond, rick and Scott Steiner
Speaking of Scott steiner, just rewatched survivor series 2002 recently and seeing him make his debut was mental, boy was a beast
WWF king of the ring was the only one i didnt have since it wasnt out in the UK. play both th gameboy and NES versions on emulation and not impressed. WWF superstars on Gameboy will always be fondly remembered since i played it alot when i was much younger.
I only heard a few songs from Billy ocean in the 80s.
The boys a legend, got tunes for days and is still quality live to this day.
@@the16bitprick36 awesome. Your videos are fun ☺️
@@marccaselle8108 Thanks mate, i appreciate the kind words. Wrestlemania 2000 on N64 up next!
@@the16bitprick36 woohoo, I know on the 64, WWF war zone had a exclusive mode, the royal Rumble mode.

I dont know why they had to make these games so complicated for a handheld that simple.

How do you bounce off the ropes in Superstars 2? I could never figure it out.
Been a while but I'm sure it was A & B together?
Thanks. That's also how you get up from the ground.
By the time Superstars 2 was released, Jake Roberts was already in WCW, so maybe it made sense a little bit.
Jake wasn't in wcw for long.
For me, Superstars 2 was my game of choice. Superstars 1 was admittedly a bit better, but I loved Taker and the Steel Cage.
The problem was hogan was just to over

Was that Kane or Scott steaner
Your guess is as good as mines.
@@the16bitprick36 lol
cool review. make more your good but dont swear, as my gf dont like it and shes not up for it after... (you did not mention WWF Superstars 2)
3:19 for superstars 2 😁
@@the16bitprick36 So which ones you'd recommend for being the best to play?
anyone ever tell you that you look like baron corben
No but it makes a massive difference from being mistaken for Leonardo DiCaprio.
